Seasonal Activity Chart
Channel Catfish
For channel catfish near Lingle, Wyoming, your primary focus should be the North Platte River. This river system offers the best habitat and consistent fishing for catfish in the area. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are ideal for targeting catfish. Look for deeper holes, areas with submerged structure like fallen trees, and the outside bends of the river. Stink baits, cut bait (chubs or suckers), and nightcrawlers are all effective baits. A local tip is to focus your efforts during periods of low light, such as dawn and dusk, or even better, at night. The catfish are typically more active under these conditions. Also, be aware of the regulations regarding bait restrictions and size limits. While you won't find trophy-sized catfish consistently, the North Platte near Lingle offers a good chance at catching some decent-sized channel cats.
